Bigdane Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 its time too get the belt sorted. 1. i have trimmed and wetsanded (2000 grid) the parts 2. i have testfitted the belt and found centerpoint and marked the holes, whitch im gona punch out whit the displayed tool 3. im gona rivet the snap button true the plastik into the canvas all in one process 4. i have used the heat gun and made a nice curve in the belt so that it follows the armour nicely the rivet has a little vasher too protect the plastic. This is the snap seen from the inside whits will be accached too the chest plate Finaly i glued on the covers fore the rivets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdane Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Time too attach the small spanish pouches and mound the belt too the torso. 1. I have bend some 1,3 mm. stainles wire into some hanger loops (dont know the english word fore this) and attached them too the pouches. 2. then i have taken pices off webbing strips (120 mm. long) and wraped it around the hanger and sewed it together whit a "hook" part off velcro 3. Then its just a matter off sew "loop" part of the velcro in the belt and mount the pouches 4. Now i marked out and attached 2 snaps too the torso 5. And a quick test fit what you say is ok???
